There is no doubt that the careful way in which the UEFA Champions League has been promoted has had a significant impact on its success. Thanks to its distinctive identity, the use of the same visual effect in all the stadiums, a strict marketing concept and quality broadcasting, the UEFA Champions League has established itself as a prime example in the world of sport. This season, the competition has a new format and we have also decided to strengthen its public image. For this purpose, we are introducing enhanced branding and a new consumer magazine, “Champions”, through which football fans throughout Europe can find out more about the competition and all those involved in it. Our new media experts are also strengthening the presence of the UEFA Champions League via the uefa.com website.

  • September 1994/95
    READING REFEREE Editor - Brian Palmer August/September 1994/95 Volume XXXVIII No 1 Editorial First magazine of the new season and quite a lot seems to have gone under the bridge already, although local competitions are only in their early stages. With few law changes promised, it looked as though this might be a less eventful season than some recent ones, but it is not to be. We should have known. The World Cup threw referees fully into the limelight - with new and stringent FIFA instructions, followed by accusations of red and yellow cards being used by confetti. Whatever the truth of all that - and two of our members give their own reflections in this issue - no-one can deny that the World Cup 1994 was different and, I believe, will prove to have changed the way we were going. And for the better. If you are not sure, just think back to Italy 1990 and beyond, and to some of the horrendous savagery we have seen, as well as incredibly dull football. Of course the spin-off for us is 'mandatory instructions'. We are simply being told, at all levels of football, to apply the Laws. The more honest of us will admit that not all referees have been doing the job, even at the highest levels. Foul play was paying too many dividends - the 'professional foul' and all that. Honesty/fair play had ceased to be the best policy. At last that really seems to be changing. We have to get the balance right of course. We don't want an attractive game for fairies, but there must be a formula which allows both the physical and the skilful to co-exist.

The past two years have therefore been a rather intense period, as UEFA has had to implement the new structures while at the same time addressing current football issues and launching new projects. Both these tasks were far-reaching and voluminous. Among other challenges, UEFA had to help find a solution to the issue of international transfers, cope with the complex demands of organising competitions, define the format for the club competitions and defend the centralised marketing of the rights to the UEFA Champions League. In terms of projects, we launched the club licensing system, created our subsidiary UEFA New Media, set up a new structure for marketing opera- tions and moved forward with our study aimed at allowing the use of artificial-turf surfaces in UEFA competitions.

  • 2020 Canada Soccer Annual Report
    A MESSAGE FROM DR. NICK BONTIS, PRESIDENT Even with so much of the world’s attention focused on the COVID-19 pandemic over the past year, there has been a parallel conversation in many organizations around equity, diversity and inclusion. Whether prompted by the death last May of George Floyd, or simply brought into sharper focus by our collective reckoning with systemic racism, representation is something that no organization – including Canada Soccer – can afford to ignore. That is one reason we have been so focused on diversity in the first 100 days since I was entrusted with the role of President. Our Board of Directors needs to be more reflective of the athletes we represent. It needs to look more like our National Teams. When I was elected, we had two female Directors out of 14, and that, to me, was unacceptable. Slowly, but surely, we will raise the profile of women on the Board and increase our racial diversity. 2 CANADA SOCCER 2020 ANNUAL REPORT One of the first things I did as President was national pride. That shows the power we have in practices, and leverage our expertise so we’re to recommend Charmaine Crooks as Vice- women’s soccer, and we have to communicate not duplicating our efforts. During my first 100 President. The five-time Olympian and Olympic that opportunity to private investors – that days, I’ve reached out to our stakeholders – our silver medallist is the first woman – and the first women’s professional soccer is a long-term member organizations, professional clubs, and black woman – to become a senior officer of viable investment.
